Stolen Identity...?!

Forgive me if there is a direct contact button, but I cannot see it...

When I click on my name anywhere on the site, for example after i've posted a thread my name has a link to 'my' profile, however when I click I end up on someone called ^^Sahara^^ instead of me, -Sahara-...

I think this may be why I cannot upload an avator or profile pic... any ideas??

Hi Sahara,
Sorry for your trouble. I am pretty sure it is a technical glitch and not someone deliberately stealing your profile. The signs in usernames sometimes mess things up, though I have never seen THIS exact thing happen before. We will notify the ones who can investigate and hopefully solve the problem.
Hope you will be patient with us

BTW, when you are logged in, do you see a "welcome, Sahara" near the top right on your screen? If you click on your name it should take you to your profile. Does it still direct you to the wrong place?
And if you click on "user cp", where does it take you?

I clicked on your name and it did take me to the other Sahara's profile. Strange it should happen as her name is all upper case along with double inverted Vs (^). It isn't stolen ID just that 2 people have chosen the same user name with slight differences which allowed the name to be registered twice but the system is probably not seeing the differences. As Gisela said she will get the administrators to sort it out. I am sure Salome will be able to do something or suggest a remedy.

It sounds like someting to do with the coding of the website itself and might not be an easy thing to fix. It is possible that the coding aka programming does not make any difference for a - vs / vs ^ or any other marking.
